More than 60,000 pounds of cooked chicken recalled over allergen risk

Suzanna’s Kitchen, a Georgia-based food production company, has issued a recall of 62,550 pounds of fully cooked, bone-in breaded chicken products. 

The chicken, which was distributed nationwide, was recalled over mislabeling. While the product was labeled with a product code that classifies it as non-allergen-containing, the product contains soy. 

According to the recall notice, which was issued on December 12, the affected product is the eight-piece cut, bone-in breaded chicken portions that were produced on October 16, 2025. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) mark of inspection and establishment number printed on the side of the package is “P-1380.”

According to the USDA, soy is one of the “big nine” allergens, and could result in serious allergic reactions. “Symptoms of food allergies typically appear within minutes or up to 2 hours after a person has eaten or has come into contact with the food to which they are allergic,” the site explains. It also notes that common signs of an allergic reaction include things like hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue, lips, or face, as well as the throat and vocal chords, a drop in blood pressure, and more.

It’s unlikely that the products will be found in home refrigerators, as it was distributed to restaurants across the country. However, restaurant-goers with soy allergies should be aware of the heightened concern. The FSIS says restaurants should carefully check their stock. “FSIS is concerned that some products may be in restaurant refrigerators or freezers. Restaurants are urged not to serve this product; these items should be thrown away,” states the recall notice. 

The notice also stated that there have been no confirmed illnesses due to the affected products, but consumers concerned about a potential illness should contact their healthcare provider immediately. 

Otherwise, questions about the recall can be directed to Dawn Duncan, Customer Service Director, Suzanna’s Kitchen at dduncan@suzannaskitchen.com, the notice states. The USDA’s Meat and Poultry Hotline is also available for questions at 888-674-6854.
